Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the comparison between actual and planned labor productivity in the Police Housing Construction Project in Samarinda as a basis for assessing construction efficiency. Actual productivity data were obtained from field observations, daily reports, and measurement of work volume and duration. Planned productivity was calculated using the Unit Price Analysis (AHS), project scheduling, and manpower planning. The results show significant differences between actual and planned productivity in various work categories. Actual structural productivity ranges from 0.71 to 1.20 m³/day, which is lower than the planned productivity of 1.456–3.21 m³/day. Finishing works also display substantial deviation, with actual productivity of 27.52–80 m²/day compared to the planned 44–135 m²/day. These discrepancies result in slower progress, increased risk of project delays, and reduced time management efficiency. Key factors contributing to productivity gaps include field conditions, weather disturbances, material mobilization, worker experience, and coordination effectiveness among subcontractors. The findings highlight the importance of periodic productivity control and improved field management to meet planned targets.

Abstract

The development of irrigation infrastructure is an important factor in supporting the agricultural sector, particularly in areas that rely on irrigation systems to improve agricultural productivity. One of the main challenges in implementing irrigation projects is selecting the appropriate construction method to achieve time This research evaluates the life cycle cost (LCC) of flexible and rigid pavement alternatives for Jalan Bhayangkara, Samarinda, to determine the most economical pavement type over the design life. A quantitative LCC analysis based on Net Present Value (NPV) at a 6% discount rate was performed for a 20-year planning period. Cost components included initial construction, routine maintenance, periodic maintenance, rehabilitation, and salvage value. Data sources comprised field surveys, technical documents, maintenance records, and budget estimates. The total LCC for flexible pavement was calculated at IDR 11.19 billion, while rigid pavement yielded a lower total LCC of IDR 10.19 billion. The cost difference of IDR 999.76 million (approximately 8.9%) indicates that rigid pavement is more cost-effective over the analysis period, primarily due to lower maintenance demands and higher structural resilience in the wet, heavy-traffic conditions typical of Samarinda. Consequently, rigid pavement is recommended as the more economical and sustainable option for Jalan Bhayangkara when considering long-term lifecycle costs.

Abstract

The personal lives of judges and the attendant risk of conflicts of interest pose a critical threat to judicial independence, impartiality, and public trust in Indonesia’s judiciary. This normative legal study assesses the Indonesian Code of Ethics and Conduct for Judges (KEPPH) using statutory, conceptual, and comparative methods, with particular reference to the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. The research examines how KEPPH addresses intersections among judges’ personal finances, family ties, and professional duties, and reviews enforcement practice through decisions of the Judicial Commission, the Supreme Court, and the Judges’ Honor Council. Findings indicate that, while KEPPH establishes a comprehensive normative framework prohibiting judges from adjudicating matters involving personal interests, substantial gaps in implementation remain. Key vulnerability areas identified include financial interests, business activities and ancillary positions, familial relationships, and political affiliations that may create actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Comparative analysis with Netherlands, Singaporean, and Malaysian standards shows substantive alignment with international best practices but highlights weaknesses in enforcement—especially in financial disclosure, oversight of secondary employment, and institutional coordination between internal and external supervisory bodies. The study concludes that strengthening internal–external supervision, adopting risk-based oversight, enhancing transparency through systematic financial reporting, promoting merit-based judicial appointment processes, and instituting continuous professional ethics education are necessary to protect judicial independence and sustain public confidence in Indonesia’s judiciary.
